Date: The note is undated but prefix A/7 suggests that it was introduced in 1947.
Printer: Thomas De La Rue & Company Ltd. London England.
Size: The banknote measures ~6" by ~3 1/4".
Pick Number: P 9e and is listed in the Banknote Book as B108e.
Condition: I would grade this note as very fine or better with all its being well preserved. The note is intact with some minor light folds and a few bumps. It is lightly soiled and has a small stain on the back. The edges are intact with some roughness but no tears or splits. The note has no pinholes and no graffiti. The corners are intact but have bumps and some rounding. The one issue we see, is the fact that the note has a central horizontal crease that is soiled on the back and shows-up as a brown horizontal line. Other than that, this is a nice note to add to your collection at a reasonable price. Please see photo for additional condition information.
